Deciding whom to select to be a part of your wedding party can be as difficult to decide as to whom to seat next to whom. Knowing what’s expected of the duty can help you make the decision a little easier.

From bride’s maids to pages, we will list the common (and not so common) roles of the bridal party.

We guide couples through who should pay for what... and how to adjust when they don't. The Wedding Planner will guide you through those difficult conversatons and your partners expectations, that can overwhelm or disappont you. After 3 decades od experience you can trust I will navigate even the most difficult situations.

Finding the right wedding favors — neither too cheap nor too grand — can be difficult. With wedding favors, the line between cute and kitsch is hin. If you either can’t or don’t decide to spend money on favors, then you should forego giving anything at all — it’s not necessary. With a little creativity, however, you can probably find or make the perfect favor.

You may remember Rose Jeffries as my dress designer for the 2011 Wedding Cake Taste-Off and Anina Young of Brazen Lingerie and who for the past 2 years I have had come on to talk about the best lingerie to wear under special occasion attire.

You also know that Anina suggests you wear nothing, zip, GO NAKED throughout your honeymoon, so that is not what we're discussing here.
